Fundamental Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise is an engaging and
comprehensive introductory textbook that explains biomechanical
concepts from first principles, showing clearly how the science
relates to real sport and exercise situations. The book is divided
into two parts. The first provides a clear and detailed
introduction to the structure and function of the human
musculoskeletal system and its structural adaptations, essential
for a thorough understanding of human movement. The second part
focuses on the biomechanics of movement, describing the forces that
act on the human body and the effects of those forces on the
movement of the body. Every chapter includes numerous applied
examples from sport and exercise, helping the student to understand
how mechanical concepts describe both simple and complex movements,
from running and jumping to pole-vaulting or kicking a football. In
addition, innovative worksheets for field and laboratory work are
included that contain clear objectives, a description of method,
data recording sheets, plus a set of exemplary data and worked
analysis. Alongside these useful features are definitions of key
terms plus review questions to aid student learning, with detailed
solutions provided for all numerical questions. No other textbook
offers such a clear, easy-to-understand introduction to the
fundamentals of biomechanics. This is an essential textbook for any
biomechanics course taken as part of degree programme in sport and
exercise science, kinesiology, physical therapy, sports coaching or
athletic training.
